Today I’m going to open a FanDuel account. My plan is to make a deposit and play PGA and NHL fantasy.
The first step to to enter your e-mail address, username, and password. Once I enter these credentials, FanDuel takes me to a page where I’m asked to choose my favorite sport. In my case, this is golf (and it seems like FanDuel assumes I only have 1 favorite sport).
The first thing I’m noticing right away is its been a few minutes after opening my account and FanDuel seems intent on prompting me to enter a free contest (which I’m not interested in, I’d rather just play PGA for stakes). So I quickly choose a seemingly random lineup of players and enter the free signup contest.
After hastily entering a free contest, I’m now ready to make a deposit. I choose the $100 amount and enter my credit card credentials. FanDuel users can also deposit using PayPal. But after trying a few different times, I was unable to make a deposit using either of these methods. I assume my credit card (visa) that could not be processed (as I tried paying with visa by way of my PayPal account also), I guess my card issuer might not process payment for FanDuel, I’m just guessing. But after I disabled the popup blocker from my browser and tried making a PayPal deposit debiting my bank account directly instead of my credit card, I was able to make a $100 deposit and receive a $20 deposit bonus.
